[QUOTE="richg99, post: 442621, member: 4376"] In the past, I've made them from a simple piece of 3/4 inch exterior plywood. I took a wider-than-necessary board; routed the edges round; added stainless ...T-nuts.... that aligned with the mounting holes for the trolling motor; and sprayed the whole thing black, to match my Minn Kota trolling motor. The board then had almost limitless areas with which to mount it to the boat. In a number of cases, I used a transom mount TM, and just fashioned a 90-degree angle on which to mount it. By using the board, and properly placing it, you get rid of the odd angle created by fastening it to the gunnel. But, a real bow-mount motor makes engaging and stowing it much easier, of course. I always called those board "transition boards" and they allowed me to fit all sorts of TM's to various boats. [/QUOTE]
